Baby Daddy (Ongoing)

Part 15

"Mama, down, down..." Ruhi wanted her momma to put her down so that she can run back to her Papa and see if she could kick that french guy a bit more for touching her.

Madhu set her down on the floor and Ruhi tried to escape out of the house but Madhu dragged her back and walked her to the kitchen.

"Mama, leave..." Ruhi struggled to get out of her hold.

"Ruhi!" Madhu put her finger on her lips asking her daughter to keep quiet.

"Why did you kick that guy?" Madhu asked.

"He touched Roohi!!!" Ruhi said dramatically with her hands on her hips as if that guy had committed a serious crime. Yeah, touching an offense for little touch-me-not Ruhi so she kicked the guy. Not a big deal!

"So what? He was only being nice with you, right?" Madhu didn't get why Rk and their daughter both got so mad at that poor guy who seemed friendly and harmless to her. "Are you a brawler? Now itself you started picking fights huh?" Madhu asked holding her hands on her hips.

Ruhi looked up at her momma with a pouty lip. She didn't get what her momma was saying but surely she can understand her momma was pissed at her and scolding her. Madhu picked Ruhi up in her arms and placed her on the kitchen counter. Then she took an apple from the fruit basket, watched it and started slicing it in thin slices for Ruhi to eat.

"Eat" Madhu ordered pushing the plate to her side. Ruhi took a piece in her hand and slowly nibbled it looking scared at her momma.

"If someone says you are cute or beautiful then what you should say?"

"Kick, Momma, kick" she kicked her leg in the air, her hands raised up and palms down. No doubt Ruhi and her daddy were watching Kung fu panda movie daily.

"Rowdy!" Madhu said trying and failing to keep a straight face. Ruhi's funny antics were making her laugh.

"Mama... um... wo... touch, Roohi, mama." Ruhi tried again to make her momma understand that what that guy did was wrong. "Roohi... not like touch-ching" Ruhi screamed shaking her head frantically. Only her parents, Bittuji and Roma can touch her. She was one picky and choosey baby when it comes to with whom she wants to be with and play with.

"That's wrong, baby. You should behave nicely or else everyone will call you a bad girl. Are you a bad girl?"

"Nah... Nah... Nah" Ruhi said in her cute sing song voice.

"Good. If someone compliments you then you should say thank you" Madhu said steadying Ruhi.

"Hmp?" Ruhi asked.

"Thank you" Madhu repeats.

"Q" that's all Ruhi could say. Madhu looked up hearing Rk's laughter. He was watching them at a distance as a silent spectator enjoying his lovely girls' cute little argument.

"What?" Madhu asked.

"When we were dating I thought you were so childlike and immature but now when I see you with Ruhi... the way you teach her what's good and what's bad... how to behave... how to eat... you are molding this little one so perfectly, Madhu... You have become one matured mother." Rk said hugging Ruhi from behind.

"I wasn't childish back then... I was just so stupid!" Madhu snapped at him.

"You weren't stupid, Madhu. You only trusted me and loved me." Rk said and Madhu turned her gaze away from him. "Madhu..." Rk touched her cheek and turned her face to look at him. "Do you still love me, Madhu?" Rk asked. "Well, not the same old deep mad passionate love but at least tiny bit of love is there in your heart? For me?" he asked hopefully. He knew it was too soon to ask whether she still had feelings for him or not but he couldn't help. He wanted to know the old Madhu who loved him crazily was still there in her.
